    Off to build my kicker ramp. Seriously. Right now. Starting with your DIY Kicker Ramps vid. Thanks for sharing your work and speeding us along!

    The one dislike on the video is from someone that doesn't have a ramp and can't build one! Thanks for sharing.

    Awesome! I'm 53 and act like a kid when it comes to mountain biking, but those Table top jumps scare the heck out of me. I'm sure those ramps would get me jumping in no time. Thanks for the video!!

    Awesome job on the progressive segments. I have a feeling lots of folks have built one based on your idea! I wish every trail system with jumps would have a practice jump section at the trailhead. There would be way less accidents out on the trail.

    • @TrailBreaker
      @TrailBreaker  3 роки тому

      Thanks! I agree. Just a series of progressively bigger table tops would at lease get folks warmed up before hitting on-trail features

    i give you a ton of credit!i'm 64,started mtb 3 yrs ago.have done small jumps and drops,but dont do them regularly.so the fear of getting hurt really limits my airtime.this project looks like a good way to get comfortable getting air.tnx for posting!

    Very cool ramps, awesome design. I built a small kicker and landing ramp with my kids to get them started but I can see this is a great way to progress on the jumps. Thanks for sharing.

    Brilliant design!! Can’t wait for your how to video. I’ve been wanting to build a ramp but have been trying to decide between super aggressive or super mellow but your design solves that. Love the idea of the landing. Keep up the great work!!

    Awesome kicker / lander.
    A build plan / video would be brilliant.
    Something like this would be so useful at the kids mountain bike club lessons.

    That lander is sweet! I have seen far too many kicker ramps with not enough mobile landers. Your design looks fantastic!

    • @TrailBreaker
      @TrailBreaker  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks! I wanted to make one because otherwise all you practice is step-down jumps and landing flat. I needed something to get me used to pushing over in the air to match a landing as well as specifically aiming for a target landing. After this, I have new ideas of an even better kicker ramp for progression 😁

    That is slick, love the set up. You gotta do a build vid. Nice how you can adjust the height instead of having a bunch of ramps.

    • @TrailBreaker
      @TrailBreaker  4 роки тому

      Thanks, Steve! I will do a design video. I built it in a rush because I wanted to ride it and not take the time to do a build video. What can I say, I’m impatient 😁 Plus, I tend to make stuff up as I go. The perfect setup just might be 2 versions of the newest landing ramp.

      @TrailBreaker  2 роки тому

      Thanks! Yeah. I actually like it better as a kicker vs landing ramp. It’s a little more forgiving and less kicky than my first adjustable ramp. Let me know how it turns out😊

    @TrailBreaker Hye there bro. Nice videos. Really informative . I was wondering if you could help me with a landing setup . I've built a 24" inch kick ramp .

    • @TrailBreaker
      @TrailBreaker  3 роки тому +1

      Sure! The landing ramp should be shallower than the kicker and maybe wider. A flat case pad like this one is good too in case you come up short. Or you could just set up your kicker where the ground drops off a few feet from the takeoff
